DEA Programme | Associate Research Directors

International mobility programme for professors and senior researchers
Ongoing call
Deadline for application

Created in 1975 through the initiative of Fernand Braudel, in agreement with the Secretary of State for Universities, Directorate of Higher Education and Research, the Associate Directors of Studies (DEA) program is the oldest international mobility program of the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l'Homme. It enables foreign scientific professionals from all continents to be invited for a period of four to six weeks to support their work in the SHS in France, as well as to promote creation of international research networks and contact with researchers on site.

This programme supports up to 60 projects per year; its selection rate is approximately 30%. The selection committee is especially attentive to applications from countries where funding for SHS is reduced and to researchers for whom a stay in France represents an important opportunity to establish scientific collaborations.

A monthly allowance of €3 400 is awarded for transport and living expenses. In addition, FMSH provides support for visa applications and logistics (accommodation and access to libraries).

  • The program is intended exclusively for holders of university professorships or equivalent positions in higher education and research institutions.
  • Candidates must be under 65 years of age at the time of their stay.
  • Priority is given to projects requiring fieldwork (surveys, work in libraries or archives, etc.) in France.
  • Any application for the exclusive purpose of writing an article or a book will not be considered.
  • 3 calls per year
  • 49 mobilities carried out
  • 29 nationalities
  • 18 disciplines represented
  • 170 000€ of funding granted
